Violette is NOT a friend of the player, imo.Violette becoming immersed in the political side of the game and is clueless/unconcerned with serious issues adversely affecting gamblers.There are anti Finley forces at venues outside of NY regarding the National Lasix issue which will come to a head soon.

Horrific handle and attendance results at recently concluded Belmont fall meet more than an aberration.Many players at their limit with issues important to them just not addressed.

A public meeting on the future structure of NYRA is scheduled in Albany on 11-18 by the NY State Assembly.Not sure if attending public will be allowed to speak.
